What are epidermoid cysts? How do they develop? What are the symptoms and complications? Discover the answers to these questions and more in our detailed article.

Understanding Epidermoid Cysts

An epidermoid cyst is a benign, slow-growing cyst that develops from the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. These cysts are typically filled with keratin, a protein found in the skin, hair, and nails, as well as lipid-rich debris. Epidermoid cysts are also commonly referred to as epidermal cysts, epidermal inclusion cysts, or sebaceous cysts (though this term is inaccurate, as the cysts do not involve sebaceous glands).

Who Develops Epidermoid Cysts?

Epidermoid cysts most commonly occur in adults, particularly in young to middle-aged individuals. Men are affected twice as frequently as women. Certain genetic disorders, such as Gardner syndrome, Pachyonychia congenita type 2, and Basal cell nevus syndrome, can increase the risk of developing multiple epidermoid cysts.

Causes of Epidermoid Cysts

Epidermoid cysts generally result from an occluded pilosebaceous unit, which is the structure that includes the hair follicle and sebaceous gland. In non-hair-bearing areas of the body, such as the buttocks, palms, or soles, epidermoid cysts may develop due to the traumatic implantation of epidermal cells into the deeper layers of the skin, where keratin can accumulate within an epithelium-lined sac.

Clinical Features of Epidermoid Cysts

The clinical features of epidermoid cysts include a firm, flesh-colored or yellowish, round papule or nodule that is fixed to the skin surface but typically mobile over deeper layers. The cysts are usually 1-3 cm in diameter and may have a central punctum, from which a foul-smelling, cheesy debris can be expressed. Epidermoid cysts are most commonly found on the central trunk (chest and shoulders) and face, but can occur almost anywhere on the body, including the scrotum and vulva. They may be solitary or multiple and are generally asymptomatic.

Complications of Epidermoid Cysts

The primary complications of epidermoid cysts include:

• Rupture of the cyst contents into the dermis, resulting in swelling, redness, and tenderness, often due to bacterial infection
• Bleeding, secondary bacterial infection, and scarring following surgical excision
• Recurrence of the cyst if the entire capsule is not removed
• Rare development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma within the cyst

Diagnosis of Epidermoid Cysts

The diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst is typically made through clinical examination. Biopsy is usually not required, but the lesion may be surgically excised for cosmetic reasons or due to complications. Histological examination of the cyst would reveal a cystic structure in the dermis, a single cavity (unilocular), and an epithelial lining without rete ridges and with a granular layer containing keratohyaline granules. Ultrasound can be used in the initial evaluation of a soft tissue mass, but is not typically necessary for a typical epidermoid cyst.

Differential Diagnosis

The differential diagnosis for an epidermoid cyst includes:

• Lipoma: a mobile, 2-10 cm, dome or egg-shaped subcutaneous lump with a rubbery or soft, smooth consistency
• Trichilemmal cyst: a firm, mobile, 0.5-5 cm subcutaneous nodule without a central punctum, usually presenting on the scalp, with a thick capsule and less prone to rupture
• Acne pseudocyst: lacks a capsule and is associated with other signs of acne
• Myxoid pseudocyst: a shiny papule arising at the end of a digit
• Dermoid cyst: has epidermal and dermal components and arises in early childhood
• HPV-related epidermal cyst: a lesion with a hard, keratinous surface

Treatment of Epidermoid Cysts

Most small, uncomplicated epidermoid cysts do not require treatment. The most effective treatment for an epidermoid cyst is complete surgical excision with an intact cyst capsule. Removal of the entire cyst lining decreases the rates of recurrence. In some cases, the cyst contents may be aspirated, but this is not a long-term solution, as the cyst will often refill and may become inflamed. Topical or intralesional corticosteroids can be used to reduce inflammation in the short term, but do not provide a definitive cure.

What is an epidermoid cyst?

An epidermoid cyst is a benign cyst derived from the infundibulum or upper portion of a hair follicle, encapsulated in a thin layer of epidermis-like epithelium. Epidermoid cysts are typically filled with keratin and lipid-rich debris [1,2].

Synonyms for an epidermoid cyst include:

• Epidermal cyst
• Epidermal inclusion cyst
• Epithelial cyst
• Follicular infundibular cyst
• Infundibular cyst
• Keratin cyst
• Sebaceous cyst (this is a common misnomer, as these cysts do not involve sebaceous glands, nor do they contain sebum).

Palpating an epidermoid cyst

Who gets an epidermoid cyst?

Epidermoid cysts most commonly occur in adults, particularly when young-to-middle aged. They occur twice as frequently in men than in women [3].

Genetic disorders which may increase the risk of developing multiple epidermoid cysts include [1]:

• Gardner syndrome
• Pachyonychia congenita type 2
• Basal cell naevus syndrome.

Syndromes associated with epidermoid cysts

Gardner syndrome

What causes an epidermoid cyst?

An epidermoid cyst generally results from an occluded pilosebaceous unit.

On non-hair-bearing areas of the body, such as the buttock, palm of the hand, or sole of the foot, an epidermoid cyst may be due to traumatic implantation of epidermal cells into the dermis where keratin accumulates within an epithelium-lined sac [2].

What are the clinical features of an epidermoid cyst?

The clinical features of an epidermoid cyst include [4]:

• A firm, flesh-coloured or yellowish round papule or nodule fixed to the skin surface but typically mobile over deeper layers
• Diameter 1–3 cm
• A central punctum
• Foul-smelling cheesy debris can be expressed from the central punctum.

Epidermoid cysts are most common on the central trunk (eg, chest and shoulders) and face but can occur almost anywhere on the body. Epidermoid cysts are common the scrotum and vulva. They may be solitary or multiple, and are generally asymptomatic.

Ruptured cyst

What are the complications of an epidermoid cyst?

Rupture of the cyst contents into the dermis results in swelling, redness, and tenderness. This can be due to trauma or bacterial infection, commonly by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and group A streptococcus [1].

Surgical excision can lead to bleeding, secondary bacterial infection, and scarring. If the cyst has ruptured, or the capsule is not removed in its entirety, the cyst may recur.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma may very rarely arise within an epidermoid cyst [5].

Inflamed cyst

How is an epidermoid cyst diagnosed?

The diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst is usually made clinically.

Biopsy is usually not required but the lesion may be excised for cosmetic reasons or due to complications. Histological features of an epidermoid cyst include [1]:

• A cystic structure in the dermis
• A single cavity (unilocular)
• An epithelial lining without rete ridges and with a granular layer with keratinohyaline granules.

Ultrasound can be used in the initial evaluation of a soft tissue mass but is not usually required for a typical epidermoid cyst.

What is the differential diagnosis for an epidermoid cyst?

Differential diagnoses for an epidermoid cyst include:

• Lipoma — a mobile 2–10 cm dome or egg-shaped subcutaneous lump with a rubbery or soft and smooth consistency
• Trichilemmal cyst — a firm, mobile, 0.5–5 cm subcutaneous nodule without a central punctum, usually presenting on the scalp; it has a thick capsule and is not typically prone to rupture
• Acne pseudocyst — this lacks a capsule and is associated with other signs of acne such as comedones, inflammatory papules, pustules, and nodules
• Myxoid pseudocyst — a shiny papule arising at the end of a digit
• Dermoid cyst — this has epidermal and dermal components and arises in early childhood
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related epidermal cyst — a lesion with a hard, keratinous surface.

What is the treatment for an epidermoid cyst?

Most small uncomplicated epidermoid cysts will not require treatment.

The most effective treatment for an epidermoid cyst is complete surgical excision with an intact cyst capsule. Removal of the entire cyst lining decreases rates of recurrence [6]. This can be difficult to achieve following cyst rupture. Histological examination of the surgical specimen is recommended due to the small risk of malignant transformation and misdiagnosis [6].

In cases of infection, initial antibiotics, incision and drainage may be indicated.

What is the outcome for an epidermoid cyst?

Epidermoid cysts are typically benign and slow growing, rarely undergoing malignant transformation. Occasionally, they resolve spontaneously without intervention [1].

Female Genital Sores: Pictures, Causes, and Diagnosis

Female genital sores may be the result of an infected scratch, a sexually transmitted infection (STI), a chronic skin condition, or vulvar cancer. See a doctor for a diagnosis, especially if the sores bleed or do not heal.

Female genital sores are bumps and lesions in or around the vagina or vulva. These sores can extend from the genital area to the anus.

Some may be itchy, painful, tender, or produce a discharge. And some may not cause any symptoms.

Genital sores can occur for no reason and resolve on their own. But some may be due to certain skin disorders or be a symptom of a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Genital sores may appear as small, red, or flesh-colored bumps and blisters. Sores may also change appearance and become crusty or larger.

They can also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as:

• itchiness
• pain at the site
• pelvic pain
• burning
• bleeding
• discomfort when urinating

STIs, in general, are also associated with symptoms, such as:

• painful intercourse
• discomfort when urinating
• increased or foul-smelling vaginal discharge

But some STIs don’t have any symptoms, which make them undetectable without testing.

The most common causes of female genital sores are STIs, which can be spread through oral, vaginal, or anal sex, as well as through the sharing of sex toys.

STIs that can cause female genital sores include:

• genital herpes, which is caused by a virus
• genital warts, which is caused by a virus
• chancroid, a bacterial disease
• syphilis, a bacterial infection
• molluscum contagiosum, a viral skin infection with raised, flat pearly nodules

Some chronic skin conditions may also lead to genital sores:

• eczema, a skin inflammation often caused by allergies
• vulvovaginitis, an inflammation of the vulva and vagina
• contact dermatitis, a sensitivity to chemicals, detergents, and perfumes
• cysts
• ingrown hairs

Sometimes, even a scratch can become infected and cause a genital sore.

Bumps and lumps around your vulva that bleed or don’t go away can also be signs of vulvar cancer and will require immediate medical attention.

As there are a number of potential causes of female genital sores, it’s important to see a doctor for diagnosis.

They’ll need to physically examine you via a pelvic exam and ask about your medical history. They may also perform blood tests or swab the affected area and test it for the presence of bacteria or viruses.

A doctor should evaluate any genital bumps or sores to determine the cause and prevent any medical complications. It’s also important to find out if the cause is an STI, so you can be treated and avoid spreading it to sexual partners.

While you’re waiting for your appointment, a sitz bath can help relieve any pain or discomfort.

You can make a sitz bath at home by filling the bathtub with warm water that goes up to your hips when you’re seated. Add a mild saline solution or baking soda to the water. You can also purchase a small basin for a sitz bath from a drugstore and use it instead of a bathtub.

The exact form of treatment depends on the cause of the genital sores. For example, some STIs, such as genital herpes, are incurable — but outbreaks can be treated with medication.

Topical and oral medications may treat the sores and relieve pain. Your doctor may prescribe:

• antibiotics
• antiviral medications
• a corticosteroid, like hydrocortisone
• pain relievers
• other anti-itch drugs

Other genital sores, such as noncancerous cysts, don’t always require treatment. But you can have them removed if you prefer.

Practicing safer sex by using condoms can help stop the spread of STIs that cause genital sores.

If you have an STI, try to be open with your sexual partner(s) and talk about getting tested and treated.

You and your partner(s) should also avoid sexual contact until after treatment, as it’s possible to spread an STI back and forth.

Genital sores due to skin conditions or allergic reactions may be more difficult to prevent. Avoid known irritants, such as abrasive soaps or strong fragrances.

The chance of cysts and ingrown hairs, meanwhile, can be reduced by carefully washing the genital area and not shaving red, swollen, or affected areas.

It’s best to see a doctor as soon as possible. That way, they can properly diagnose genital sores and prescribe an appropriate course of treatment.

So if you notice a new genital sore, a change in an existing sore, genital itching, bleeding, pain, or fever alongside sores, book an appointment straight away.

Seeing a doctor is particularly important if the cause is an STI. Young people assigned female at birth (AFAB) are especially at risk for developing serious long-term health complications from untreated STIs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The long-term outlook depends on the cause. In many cases, female genital sores can be cured with treatment. However, some conditions, such as genital herpes or chronic skin issues, can be lifelong, leading to recurring sores.

Your outlook also depends on the timing of treatment. Untreated STIs can cause serious health complications for AFAB folks, including:

• pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
• infertility
• scarring of the reproductive organs
• increased risk of ectopic pregnancy

Your doctor can discuss long-term treatment options for these types of conditions to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and help avoid outbreaks.

Reviews

Hello! I would like to share my impressions about the operation performed in your clinic. Firstly, I am a non-resident, I had to read about you and listen to the recommendations of friends, acquaintances, relatives. It all started with a direct conversation with the doctor and then a consultation with the administrators, who in turn provided all the information. After receiving all the tests, I visited your clinic for the first time, it turned out to be brighter and more comfortable than outside. Before the operation, a visit to the therapist, examination and taking of readings (including all tests brought with you). Then they took me directly to the doctor who will perform the operation. Doctor Kamaletdinov Rinaz Enesovich, special thanks to him, the operation – Circumcision. Full consultation and further design questions. After that, the ascent to the ward, where the staff is also very polite and excellent rooms with everything you need. Next move to the operating room. The support group of the nurse Serebryakova Xenia Alexandrovna and the work with comments (which is not unimportant) about the current work with you is worth a separate praise. Setting up and creating a friendly atmosphere at a high level.
After the operation, they helped me get up and took me to the ward, where they offered tea and made the necessary injections. The ward is clean, comfortable, bed with a mechanism, everything is new – level 10 out of 10. The doctor resorted to check the condition (in addition to the nurse on duty) every probably half an hour, between consultations and operations. Everything went without a single mistake, clearly with high professionalism.
Summary: now my one of the few favorite clinics, which I already recommend and will continue to recommend! Prosperity to you, you are great fellows! Thanks for all!

Based on the recommendations of the therapist of the Clinic, SL was referred to the day hospital for the treatment of vitiligo. I want to express my gratitude to the nurse Akhmetgaleeva Guzel. She has golden hands! He does injections and droppers perfectly (this is with my invisible veins). Sociable, friendly, always smiling. Being treated for vitiligo in the clinic, I was surrounded by warmth and care, I felt cozy and comfortable, thanks to Guzel and the clear and well-coordinated work of the entire team. Thank you very much!

Hello, I want to express my deep gratitude to your clinic and cosmetologist Maria Valerievna! Thank you for your professionalism and dedication! I’m glad I trusted you!

23.01.2020Regina

I have been going to the SL Clinic for more than a year, but recently I found out that a cardiologist also sees. In general, I go to the beautician Elena Viktorovna.
I could not think that I needed to see a cardiologist. Svetlana Gennadievna, thank you for the positive attitude, you opened my eyes to my health, or rather explained the reason for my poor health. Before that, not a single specialist, and I turned to a vascular specialist, and to a therapist, and did ultrasound, no one could understand anything. Everyone said that everything is normal with you … although I understood that it was not …
Thank you for explaining everything to me intelligibly, you are now my true friend!

16.01.2020Maria Makarova

Svetlana Leonovna!!! I don’t know how to thank you. To say that you have given me back my confidence is an understatement. You gave me back the desire to smile, the desire to move forward, just the desire to live. Just don’t disappear, you just be, you just don’t go anywhere. THANKS FOR ALL!!!

10/16/2019Olga

And again, I was not mistaken in choosing the clinic and the doctor, entrusting you with the most precious thing. Despite the fact that the operation is not difficult – when it comes to a child, everything becomes important and significant, so I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Rustem Sharipzyanovich and all the staff! Let your work give the result that we expect from you! Grateful patients! Great achievements! Clinic further prosperity! Thank you!

26. 09.2019Aliya

Removed the wrinkle between the eyebrows from Zhaboeva Svetlana Leonovna. Very smiling, pleasant doctor, professional with a capital letter. I am very satisfied with the result, although I did not like the result in another clinic before. I liked that the clinic does not impose services. I wanted to make lips, but the doctor dissuaded me, saying that I didn’t need it yet. Next time I will come only to you

Bartholin gland cyst removal ♻️ Labia cyst, operation

Laser removal of perineal cyst (vagina, Bartholin’s gland)

Inflammation of small glands located in the region of the labia minora at the entrance to the vagina causes great discomfort in the fair half. As a result of primary or secondary blockage of the excretory duct, the secret of the gland accumulates in it, causing the development of an inflammatory process and the formation of a cyst.

Symptoms of disease

Most often, the disease is asymptomatic and is detected during a routine examination by a gynecologist, but it happens that a large cystic formation causes some concern, which manifests itself in the form:0003

• discomfort when walking and during intercourse;
• severe throbbing pain.

Causes of disease development

Sometimes women cannot associate the appearance of a cyst with a specific factor. The reason may be the following:

• violation of intimate hygiene;
• wearing too tight underwear;
• skin injuries during shaving and epilation;
• injuries due to surgery, etc.

Modern urogenital surgery in the Kyiv clinic “Med City” provides new methods for the treatment of gynecological pathologies, among which the removal of a Bartholin gland cyst using a laser method is becoming increasingly popular.

Before/after photo

Laser mechanism

The technique of laser vaporization – removal of a vaginal cyst, is based on the fact that a laser beam of directional action vaporizes the contents of the cyst without touching healthy, intact tissues. Under the action of a laser, the cyst cavity is sclerosed.

For this procedure, the Med City clinic uses a high-tech carbon dioxide laser. Due to the penetration of the beam into tissues and cavities to an adjustable depth, high accuracy of exposure is observed. The point action of the laser allows you to treat large areas of damage without affecting healthy areas. Fine-tuning the parameters allows you to change the area and depth of the treated surface.

Removal of a perineal cyst can also be carried out using a diode laser. The difference from CO2 laser exposure is that an optical fiber is inserted into the cyst cavity under the control of an ultrasound machine, through which a laser beam is fed. In this case, the effect on the tissue structures of the cystic formation occurs from the inside.

Benefits of laser treatment

The main advantages of the method of laser removal of cysts in the clinic “Med City” in Kyiv are:

• high precision of exposure;
• adjustable beam penetration depth and power;
• due to tissue coagulation, the operation is practically bloodless;
• the procedure is painless;
• operation time is several minutes;
• no risk of inflammatory processes;
• absence of scars and scars;
• full recovery occurs in a short time and does not require hospitalization;
• there is an opportunity to save the gland.

The only slight drawback of the technique is its high price, because expensive equipment is used for treatment.

In the Med City clinic, both types of operations are performed using the latest medical lasers. The cost of surgical intervention is due not only to the use of high-tech equipment from Italian manufacturers, but also to the high quality of the operations performed.

Not only Kiev residents, but also patients from all over Ukraine register for an appointment with our professional specialists. Thanks to the current system of discounts, privacy policy, individual approach to each client, comfortable conditions, as well as the professionalism of our highly qualified specialists, the treatment in our Med City clinic is successful and effective.

Hello, I would like to know more about laser removal of a Bartholin gland cyst. At the moment I am taking a course of antibiotics, my cyst is not large 14 * 11 mm. The inflammation was removed, but they said that it was better to remove it. I read about laser removal of a cyst that this is the safest way. How much will the whole procedure cost, together with anesthesia and the doctor’s work, do I need to take any tests (since I don’t live in Kiev) or can I come and have the operation the same day, do I need a hospital? Thank you.

Please tell me, I went to the hospital to remove the cyst, I paid 5000 UAH, the next day the doctor said that the cyst was not removed (Gartner’s in the wide ligament of the uterus), what should I do? They did a laparoscopy.

Administrator MED CITY

Good afternoon, Victoria.
Laparoscopy is not performed in our clinic. The first thing you need to do is to discuss this situation in detail with your attending physician and find out about all the nuances of your health status (for example, what difficulties did you have during laparoscopic access, adhesive disease, endometriosis?) and find out what to do next (treatment and follow-up plan ).
Second: If you do not receive a satisfactory answer, and do not understand what will happen next, then we will consult you and choose further tactics. Pre-registration by phone: 044 338 55 00.

Does the laser method for removing a Bartholin gland cyst consist in the complete removal of the gland or only in opening its cavity and cauterizing? How likely are relapses?

Administrator MED CITY

Good afternoon, Oksana.
Bartholin’s gland is removed in our clinic. There are several types of operations:
– Opening and drainage of a hand or abscess.
– Laser marsupialization.
– Complete (laser) removal of the brush.
With the complete removal of a cyst with a gland, there will be no recurrence, since the entire tissue is removed. But with laser marsupialization, the percentage of recurrence is very low, but the function of the gland is preserved. To determine the correct tactics – you need a doctor’s consultation! Pre-registration in the clinic by phone: 044 338 55 00, 050 313 13 27.
